Chicken Pot Pie in Lunch Recipes,A rotisserie chicken and store-bought puff pastry make this chicken pot pie easy to prepare — and it’s next-level delicious! My goal was to come up with an easy recipe that didn’t sacrifice flavor.

I also borrowed an ingredient from my favorite turkey gravy – Cognac – and it added that je ne sais quoi that makes these chicken pot pies next-level delicious.
